Film unit acquires distribution to Samsara pic

The pic, which preemed last fall at the Toronto Film Festival, was helmed by Nati Baratz and follows a shy, devoted disciple, Tenzin Zopa, as he searches for the reincarnation of his teacher and world renowned master, Lama Konchog.

The pic will bow in theaters on June 3 at the Film Form with a DVD release shortly after in the fall with Oscilloscope donating 20% of the profits from the film to Tibetan Buddhist orgs.
